6. Description of content : The notified text establishes specific sanitary requirements for 
the importa tion into Chile of viscera meal, meat and bone meal, feather meal and oils and 
fats of poultry, swine and horses, whether pure or blended . This is in view of the need to 
update domestic regulations by adopting measures aimed at preventing the introduction 
of infectious or contagious agents that can affect animal health.

(ASF) seen throughout the world, it has become necessary to establish security measures
